Natural Area

Robert C. Porter Family Park is the first natural areas park in Champaign providing passive recreational opportunities and eventually environmental education programs. The first phase of this project is complete and features a loop walking trail, 300 trees, a small shelter, a pond, grass and native plantings. The primary power lines along Rising Road will be buried, making a much more cosmetically appealing appearance for the park.

Native Prairie

Porter Park is also home to a restored prairie area. This prairie area, like those at Scott Park, Sunset Ridge Park, and Heritage Park, is kept healthy through the use of careful prescribed burns.
